Heya! If you guys aren’t aware- I truly am grateful for ALL your support and love and uuuuugh it’s what keeps me going. Man ya’ll are the reason I’m so motivated to give daily Antarcphos content ^^
So at the end of each month I’m choosing three followers to do a “spotlight” on! It’s my way of thanking YOU for everything!
This first ever Follower Spotlight goes to fandomoctopus, bunphos, and winter-chill: the first three followers that helped me kickstart my profile and truly began to make me feel wanted.
Winter-chill has been the first few to have found my mess of a profile back in the beginning of March and helped push me forward by liking my first several sketches. They weren’t very flashy and my art back then was very... meh- but later down the line they helped add content through asks! I was so excited when I got my first ever ask- I legit started tap dancing in happiness ^^
Shoutout to you Winter-chill! I hope you continue to enjoy my content! ^^
fandomoctopus has reblogged EVERY. SINGLE. ONE. of my posts- and they always have the most wonderful hashtags- just reading them makes my heart flutter with joy~ Sometimes I post HOPING they’ll see it cuz every single time they don’t disappoint- they have been a very reliable source of self-esteem boosting and love that I just... aaaaaah I’m just so happy to have attracted someone like that!
Thank you fandomoctopus! I hope I don’t let you down moving forward! ^^
bunphos has also been one of the first few to have found me and began liking all my sketches. All of them. They didn’t do anything flashy or extra- they didn’t submit asks or reblog all my sketches (or perhaps they did-) but it was their constant support through likes and a SINGLE message saying “I really love your work” that gave me motivation to produce more content! Trust me, a little goes a long way!
Salutes to you bunphos! Please continue being your awesome self! ^^
As I’ve said, I love ALL of you and ALL of your support is WONDERFUL. It’s just that shouting everyone out would be a paaaaaaaain and I figured choosing three supporters at the end of each month would be easier (hope you understand). These three had a similar theme to them: they all were supporters from the very beginning and helped me through a seriously dark time I was having behind the screen. I was at quite an all-time low with myself, my art, my skills, and I was just not happy with who I was. I mean, who doesn’t have times when they aren’t, right? Except for me, my art was going through some RADICAL changes in style- I was hopping from one style to the next and never happy with the results, I was so frustrated that no matter what I drew; I was never proud of it. Never happy with it. It was an art-style crisis. I started downgrading myself- and that little voice inside your head that whispers “you suck”? Yeah. It never goes away.
Except for me- I face that voice and say- “alright, then come on- let’s fail together”. So this profile happened. Don’t get me wrong- my love of HnK and Antarcphos is genuine- but my love for myself was just... no where. So I decided- I’m going to step into this and if I fail- great, now I know where to go. But I didn’t, thanks to these three, and all of you.
So from the bottom of my heart...
Thank you for supporting me. I promise I won’t let you down ^^
I won’t choose the same people again in future follower spotlights to give everyone a fighting chance! If someday I have issues choosing three- I’ll begin to do honorable mentions at the end of each spotlight! I honestly want to give all of you the love and gratitude you deserve because behind a screen- ya’ll are people too. And it’s people like you that make life a little more colourful ^///^
